The New York Yankees, bolstered by the offensive efforts of Aaron Judge, Alex Verdugo and Juan Soto, staved off elimination in Game 4. Their offense finally broke through with 11 runs, five of which came in a stunning, game-sealing eighth inning.

That resulted in a wave of joy from the Yankees players, who finally had something to celebrate after their World Series berth. The three outfielders share a unique celebration in the outfield after wins, which they had not been able to perform in this series.

After the win, the trio joyfully ran together and jumped into one another, smiles plastered on their faces. If just for a moment, things felt much better in the Bronx. The MLB Instagram page posted a clip of the moment, which garnered more than 70,000 likes overnight.

Watch it below:

The Yankees are still on the brink of elimination, but at least for now, they're still playing. That's cause enough to celebrate in the eyes of the three outfielders.


Aaron Judge, Alex Verdugo and Juan Soto contributed to the offense

Through the first three games of the World Series, most of the offense has come from the Los Angeles Dodgers. What little the Yankees have scored was mostly from Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton.

But in Game 4, with their backs against the wall, many unlikely sources, including Anthony Volpe, stepped up. Ultimately, it was the outfield trio that starred in that game-sealing eighth inning.

With a two-run lead and Aaron Boone preparing to let Luke Weaver go 2.1 innings to close it out, any insurance was vital. With runners on the corners and one out, nine-hitter Alex Verdugo stepped up.

While it didn't result in any impressive hit, Verdugo had arguably the best at-bat of the series. He fouled off multiple pitches before finally sending the 11th pitch on the ground to the drawn-in infield. It was just enough to get Volpe in.

He would score on Gleyber Torres' three-run home run, but the other outfielders weren't done. Soto earned a double on his first hit of the game, and Aaron Judge finally broke out with a run-scoring single before stealing a base. Judge, who has struggled mightily, was on base four times last night.

If the Yankees hope to come back in this series, it's going to take a lot of production from their outfield and lead to a lot more celebrations like the one above.
